The main point of the issue is that whetheror not students in college age should have an experience learning aboard. I, inthe following discussion, hold the view that education experiences overseas mayprovide more merits than problems for the youngsters. On one hand, students cansurely broaden their horizon without the constriction of their own culture. Onthe other hand, universities and colleges may get additional gains inreputation thanks to the overseas foreign learning programs. Moreover, thenation may take advantage of these exchanging programs to accelerate its ownprogress in worldwide trend of globalization.
History informs us that ideas ofcommunication worldwide are undoubtedly playing a vital role in a country'sdevelopment, and correspondingly, this notion requires us to put the similarrequirement to college students. From one point of view, a well-organizedlearning program overseas provides students a whole image of another culturedifferent with our own, which creates a clearer cognition of the youngsters'own fortes as well as flaws. These, in turn, contribute to form a motivation ofdirectional improve in order to enhance their advantages and undermine theirdisadvantages. Finally, without any doubt, these motivated students are morelikely to adjust to the competition with the competitors all over the world andeasier to win a rosy future. From the other point of view, imaging thatstudents are lack of chance to expand their visions in their universities,there are only a pair of alternatives for the youngsters: abandoning suchuniversities or accepting their broad sight abandoned.
Colleges as well as universities getunexpected extra payoffs when providing their own students a platform to exploremore. A good example is that, according to a recent survey conducted by 'TheEconomist', which is famous for its global vision, approximately 1000 collegesstudents in Beijing, China are selected in random to choose a university in USas the one they are most familiar with. Surprisingly, after Harvard and Yale,UIUC, which is known for its overseas exchange programs, ranks the third in thesurvey, that is, UIUC successfully gain its reputation at least partly owing tothe exchange program with China.
All nations in the world are in a processcalled globalization, and this process continuously accelerate the change ofthe world, A nation could not catch up with the trend unless it push itsyoungster to learn aboard every day and night. There should be opponentsarguing that alternative measures such as spreading through mass media andlearning in textbooks, however, such alternatives cannot be cogent since noneof these provides a more direct and efficient way than the former one does.
To wrap up, whether or not students incollege age should have an experience learning aboard remains to be an complexproblem that any solutions raised by individuals is undoubtedly partial and incomplete.Nevertheless, the analysis mentioned above still provides an alternative idea insolving the problem. |
